Court removes defiant defiler from circulation

The Supreme Court has sentenced a man of Lusaka to 40 years’ imprisonment after he unrepentantly insisted that the girl he defiled informed him she was 16 years old, when she was below that age.

The court, comprising judges Evans Hamaundu, Jones Chinyama, and Nigel Mutuna, noted that the appeal lacked merit, and upheld the conviction and sentence.

In this case, Masautso Banda appealed to the highest court, challenging the decisions of the lower court.

He stated that the trial court misdirected itself in law and fact by not considering his statutory defence that the victim told him that she was aged 16.

K100 million Eurobond vanishes without trace

THE Auditor-General’s report has revealed that K100 million which was drawn from the US$1.25 billion third Eurobond account and deposited into Control 99 for budget support has remained unaccounted for.

Zambia obtained US$750 million Eurobond in 2012, US$1 billion in 2014 and US$1.25 billion in 2015.

The Auditor-General’s report also noted that no tangible investments were done with the Eurobonds that the country obtained.

In 2020, Zambia became the first country to default on its debt leading to a debt-restructuring programme with its lenders, including bilateral creditors.
